    This is followed by AFC Wimbledon (H) Wrexham (A) MK Dons (H)
    Not looking good either for the club or GA.

    Sorry Park, but this Bradford City, it can't be discounted. And there are 3 valid reasons, we think he's a shit show, he thinks we are a shit show, and we are a shit show.

    ‘Way off the mark’.

    Is it just me, or does that have just enough wriggle room to allow for a very different outcome in the near future.

    ‘Utterly false’, would be definitive.

    A simple club statement saying this is nonsense is all that’s required.

    They chuck them out like confetti when they get Seabrook to give them a few free boxes of cheese and onion.

    Like North Korea for getting info when shit like this is out in the public domain.

    I thought exactly that.
    It’s either true or false.
    Nothing else.

    It happens though , so nothing surprises.

    I / We recruited a manager to be my deputy , top interview, top CV, top psychometric test by an outside agency, by far the best qualifications . He left after 6 months , probationary period. it wasn’t for him, he wasn’t for me. Mutual parting of the waves . It does happen outside the football sphere as well. You only have to look at Derby , Birmingham City, Watford as further proof within football.
    It’s not hard, as you know, to realise when something isn’t working…..best deal with it. Maybe GA is another example?

    My guess (and it is just a guess) is that both parties are starting to feel and share some sense of regret, and are exploring what a parting might look like if things don't change.

    The club can't and shouldn't comment. Either because it's true, or it sets a pattern of responding to media rumour. Its not a good look. Its where they'll use the likes of Raynor and Parker to be a mouthpiece.

    Oh absolutely. I've seen similar examples myself. Its not beyond the realm of reason for there to be at least some truth in it.

    “ Way off the mark “ is not exactly as convincing as it’s not true.

    Plus now that Darren Moore’s available I wouldn’t put it past Sparks to think he could get the fans back on side by getting a fan favourite in as manager

    I'd be more convinced it's happening if Simon Parker told us it wasn't true. ;)

    Feel like we might have a different man in the Billy suit going forward? This club is just the gift that keeps on giving. I'm not confident at all that GA will still be here come the end of the season, regardless of if this tidbit is true.

    Obviously your deputy also hadn't realised he was going to be working for the Ryan Sparks of Network Rail :joy:

    Irrespective of whether the rumour is true or not you have to ask why its originators would publish if they hadn't any credible sources. Having looked at their website they don't seem to me to be a set of cowboys and they emphasise their adherence to the NUJ code of conduct. Intriguing.
